The Manila Railway Company [1905] Secured Note of £500, No. 208 with 5 coupons

Description

original-colour lithograph, pink coupons attached, RARE.

Formed in London 1888, liquidated 1907 to form a company of similar name, and finally liquidated 1954, after nationalisation. Originally the Ferrocarril Manila-Dagupan, with a Spanish concession, it built and operated the named 196km line, and later others North and South from Manila. Only 210 of these £500 bonds had been issued, and this is the first time we ever had this for sale.
